Her husband was a two-time widower, having been married, firstly, to
Anne Marie Louise de La Tour d'Auvergne (1722–1739), and, secondly, to
Princess Anne Thérese of Savoy-Carignan (1717–1745). Victoire had two step-daughters from these marriages;
Charlotte, future
Princess of Condé and
Madame de Guéméné, who became governess of the children of
Louis XVI. Among her first cousins were King
Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia and the tragic
princesse de Lamballe. Like her husband, she took lovers outside her marriage. In 1757, by order of
Louis XV, she was arrested in
Tournai, purportedly for having stolen 900,000
livres worth of jewels from her husband in order to run away with her apparent lover, Monsieur de Laval-Montmorency. The couple separated and her parents were given a pension of 24,000 livres to take Victoire, exiled from court, to dwell with them at
Echternach. The couple had no children and Victoire died in Paris, having outlived her husband by five years to the day. ==Ancestry==
